"The illusionist" : Ready-to-use awesome Hi-Res point-n-click material

[Monsieur OUXX]

I was watching the animation movie "The illusionist", and I realized that it would be SO easy to rip off all the backgrounds (including their animations) and all the characters.

Provided you have the DVD, everything is incredibly high quality and suits perfectly the point-n-click genre.
You'd easily have complete walkcycles (from every angles) for at least 3 or 4 characters.

I kind of got a big adventure game vibe from The Illusionist.

Man, if Sylvain Chomet made a point and click game I would diiiiiiie

This reminds me of a bit of trivia:

Larry Ahern and Johnathan Ackley after finishing Curse of Monkey Island have started working on a new adventure game project called THE MAGIC BOX (aka VANISHING ACT) which would have had a lot of... yes! magic tricks in it! As Ahern was LucasArts key visual director and 2d animator since MI2, I guess we would get something looking at least not worse than Curse and also in 2D.

Do you know if there have been any concept art? A brief search in Google didn't show anything interesting.

I don't think LucasArts ever officially announced it or released any art for it. Maybe we should poke Larry, if he could show some drawings for the game.
